On September 3, 2005, our pastor and his wife transported people from the Louisiana Superdome to the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. He briefly shared their experience and then preached from the book of Job, borrowing an idea and sermon title from Jerry D. Black, the pastor of the Beulah Missionary Baptist Church in Decatur, Georgia.
Great Sermon! I listened to this excellent sermon today. Not only was it a fascinating account of the Pastor's journey to New Orleans and his first hand account of the situation there, but his biblical examination of Job and the corresponding examination of the three biblical reasons for all suffering was very thought provoking. I found especially revealing the notion that the three causes (natural, satanic/demonic, sovereign predestination by God) are not mutually exclusive. I so appreciated this fervent examination of the truth as found in God's word vs. what I/we in the natural would like to believe because it is "easier" and better fits into our preconceived notions. Thank you Pastor - God Bless you.
